Bumping an old thread, but wondering if anyone has any further information to answer this question. I don't need AWD but the increased acceleration from the dual-motor configuration might be nice; if braking power is increased then I'm sold.
I'm curious about something else: how does the Mach-E do with one-pedal driving and backing up? In my Leaf the brakes just don't feel responsive enough to do tight maneuvering with one pedal driving (backing up, moving forward, backing up - you know the dance). One pedal driving is activated or deactivated with a physical switch in the Leaf and I always turn it off for those times, instead preferring the usual of allowing the car to roll a bit on its own with me just controlling it through the brakes. With OPD in the Leaf I'm pretty sure I'd bump something. For slow maneuvers, does the car stop almost instantly when you let off of the accelerator? There shouldn't be a difference between RWD and AWD models here because this has more to do with how quickly the brakes come on, rather than regenerative braking, but I'm curious if there's a difference in motor count there, too.
